Cesc Fabregas has enjoyed a fine return to form in recent weeks.
After initially being left out of Chelsea's team by new manager, Antonio Conte at the start of the season, the ex-Gunners' man has recovered to play a starring role in a Chelsea side which has won 13 back-to-back Premier League games.
The 13th of those was won on Saturday, when Fabregas assisted two of his team's goals in the 4-2 win over Stoke City.
And the first of those assists, for Gary Cahill, brought up a special landmark for Fabregas.
It was his 100th assist in Premier League football - playing for both Arsenal and Chelsea - and he reached the landmark in an fabulously quick time.
Indeed, only Ryan Giggs, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney have reached that mark before, but what is fabulous about Fabregas's feat is just how quickly he did it.
In reaching 100 in just 293 games, Fabregas got his century of assists in 74 fewer games than Giggs, 152 fewer than Rooney and a giant 266 fewer than Lampard.
And then, just for good measure, he made an assist for Willian in the second half to make it 101.
Dole our hats to you, Cesc.
We know a man out there who'd be proud of that achievement.
